An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in fiscal provisions relating to public assistance, providing for distribution of SNAP benefits.

SB 85 amends Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to standardize the monthly distribution of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits for recipients. It requires county assistance offices to implement a uniform 20-day distribution schedule within one year, using the first letter of a recipient's last name to determine their specific benefit date. This ensures consistency across all counties, preventing changes to distribution dates if a recipient moves within Pennsylvania. The bill also allows for a temporary tiered schedule to avoid hardships during the transition to the new system.
